The Stars This Week: May 5-11, 2014

Opportunities are plentiful this week as the Sun sextiles Jupiter on May 6! Just watch out for others who might want to challenge you once the Sun opposes Saturn on May 10. Mercury's entrance into Gemini on May 7 brings you valuable new information, although when Mercury squares Neptune on May 11, people may get a little loose with telling the truth. Also on May 11, you'll need to sort out your relationships as Venus and retrograde Mars oppose one another.
